I WORK EN PLEIN AIR, OUT IN THE COUNTRYSIDE… Welcome. I am back to painting again after a sabbatical that included a few pieces done for charitable fund raisers. I am continuing to make small, 6" x 8", landscape oils, but not every day. I am also working on larger pieces. Every time I finish a painting, I will place it here on my website. If you see something you'd like to purchase, email me. Thank you for enjoying my work and keeping me creating new pieces. Your interest stimulates and inspires me and has made me a better painter. Sign up for my emails and I will send you an image of each new painting. I love to paint and am happy to share my painting experience with you. Most of my work is impressionistic landscape oils, inspired by the beauty of the Island of Martha's Vineyard where I live.

A mellow day faded to a pleasant sunset. As clouds moved in, sunlight danced along edges of blue and gray, saluting the day, heralding the night…
“Zen Of Fog”
“Zen of Fog”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.
This was a chancy view to paint. It looked like rain any second, and, well, I would have been better off if it had. I only stayed out for 40 minutes. When I left, my glasses were unusable, all my gear had water droplets on it. My easel was dripping rivulets onto my palette. My roll of paper towels, you know how much water Bounty holds, I had to unroll it to dry at home! If it had just rained, I would have gotten the hint much faster. The colors were so stimulating in their spring mode yet soften by the fog and distance. I have painted this path before. It actually goes up and down the dune and also around it to the left, in case you don’t feel like up and down. However, in this light it has an other worldly feeling to it.…
“Foggy Light”
“Foggy Light”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.
Fog is a wondrous phenomena. It can impart mystery, define distances, distort colors, and sometimes get you wet! I started this painting a few weeks ago, between then and now this was the next foggy day. I motored up to the lighthouse to polished off this piece. Then headed down to find and paint my next foggy image, which should appear here, tomorrow…
“January Fog”
“January Fog”, this is a small painting, 6″ x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.
Warm, but windy, had me in the lee of the low cliffs by the Herring Creek on Menemsha Pond. Besides bobbing Red-breasted Mergansers and swooping seagulls, the fog wrapped me up in silence. The tide was low and the boulders had soft edges in the shadowless light. When finished, I rewarded myself with a chocolate chip cooky from just up the road at Orange Peel Bakery…
“Winter Gold”, this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.
After absently mindedly walking through a group of bright orange colored deer hunters, I decided to do this painting from the beach…
“To The Beach”, this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.
This is a beach path where I enjoy taking my students to paint. In the big picture it appears to be only greens, blues and beiges. In reality there is much subtlety to this simple scene. It is always a revelation when working here…
